Hi Steven

I am using Eliant inside an Exb-220 with ADSM 3.1 for Windows NT, I have the 
same problem with the last ADSM version, the only way I can help
you is that the drive is ok, I can label it only using external commands 
(dsmlabel.exe) but there is no way to do it from ADSM (label
libvolume).
